Resumen

O Brasil passou por uma reforma legislativa há cinco anos, quando a Lei n. 13.431 entrou em vigor. A lei exige que um profissional devidamente capacitado conduza a entrevista da criança (em um ambiente seguro) que seja possível vítima ou testemunha de violência. Este artigo objetiva i) identificar o ponto de vista dos juízes sobre os novos requisitos da lei e sua implementação, e ii) fazer recomendações para melhorar a qualidade da entrevista forense com crianças no futuro. Para isso, este trabalho buscou a perspectiva dos juízes, que tomam a decisão final, e que raramente são o público-alvo da pesquisa. Dezesseis entrevistas semiestruturadas foram conduzidas com juízes estaduais brasileiros. Sobretudo, três principais preocupações dos juízes foram identificadas: (1) insuficiência de entrevistadores forenses treinados; (2) infraestrutura limitada dos Tribunais para implementação do procedimento previsto na lei; e (3) mínimo interesse dos profissionais do Direito em relação às práticas relacionadas à entrevista forense. Os resultados apontam para a direção onde os investimentos públicos devem ser feitos.
